Luxembourg was among the least popular travel cities in Europe. Last year, less than a million tourists have visited the city, which is significantly behind giants such as Paris or Berlin, who attract tens of millions of visitors every year. About it reports the edition RTL Today.
One of the tourists who carried out a tour of Europe and visited Luxembourg, shared his experience in Tripadvisor. According to him, during a trip, when he told other travelers that he was going to visit Luxembourg, they often asked: "Why go there?" This attitude indicates that Luxembourg is not even considered as an attractive tourist location, even for short trips.
Statistics confirms this. For comparison, Paris attends about 50 million tourists annually, Berlin attracts 22.4 million, while Luxembourg barely reaches a million visitors.
Interestingly, even less famous European capitals, such as Sarajevo (3 million tourists) and Belgrade (1.38 million), have more visitors than Luxembourg.
At the same time, the reasons for such "tourist dislike" are not entirely clear. Luxembourg has a low population density-1700 people per square kilometer, compared to more densely populated cities, such as Paris (20 025 people per km²) or London (5640 people per km²). Most of the city is allocated to green areas: parks, forests, even agricultural land.
The capital of Luxembourg can offer a lot of interesting things. Here are the old quarters included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, Kazemis Petrus, the National Museum, the impressive castles, town halls, bridges and gorges that divide the city center into two parts. It is also important to note that public transport in Luxembourg is absolutely free.
